One Piece: Reborn and Skypiean

Chapter 274

—

The Straw Hats are made up of very few members. Among them, Nami is still in the brothel, Honey Queen enjoys her free time in luxury, Bartolomeo is dead and Franky was brainwashed years ago.

Other than them, there were only Zoro, Sanji, Ussop and Alice.

Initially, Amon keeps Alice alive because of Sengoku, just in case he needs to blackmail her. But now that he had died, the girl did not need to stay alive, as she could of course try to take revenge for her father's death. 

That made Amon take the decision to kill him, but the girl's personality changed 180° today, after Amon went into his room to finish him off.

"Now, lie down. - let me lead." Alice spoke, in her miserable attempt to sound seductive as she slowly climbed on top of Amon.

Amon held back a laugh and let the process unfold in front of him.

He tried to seduce her, which was funny but useless. Amon knew all his motives. 

He had drunk a powerful poison that would kill his drinker within an hour, with no side effects the death would come suddenly. Amon had watched him drink it himself, with his vision reaching everywhere.

From what he could have guessed, he planned to let his bodily fluids infect him with poison as well, since it killed them both. But Amon has been playing with poison since the day he studied Seimei Kikan, and is even stronger after getting Reiju. This type of poison was too weak for him.

In the end, Alice died with foam coming out of her mouth and something as white coming out of her lower mouth.

Which means Zoro, Ussop, and Sanji are the only Straw Hats still alive today.

Amon left Zoro for Raki because he would go to Mihawk island occasionally to challenge him. That leaves Usopp and Sanji.

Ussop is on an island that comes from the world and only gets a newspaper once a month. With his timid personality, he would not rush to fight Amon. He was the type to plan things, and Amon was ready to play chess. Although to be honest, he was simply exaggerating the enemy.

Sanji, however, will most likely attack Amon, if his calculations are correct. 

Sanji is with Ivankov, who never fought Amon last year and is still alive and cold in his kingdom. But if he were to chase after her to take revenge on the Dragon, then Sanji would also come. That would end the same way as Sabo… 

Deaths.

Ammon would show no mercy to his enemies, not at all.

So. he just waited, waiting to see what the three remaining people would do.

Maybe he'll see some more tricks of the World Will?

—★—

It's been almost a year since then.

The world regained its peace, and people lived happier than ever under Ammon.

Although it was mostly thanks to the Moon People who helped Amon, but to be honest, Amon was not a bad ruler. 

He wants to benefit from his people, and his people can only provide good enough benefits when his stomach is full, both physically and mentally.

But honestly ... maintaining a good life for ordinary humans is not so beneficial for Amon in the long run.

Of course there is a bigger reason. More like a theory, at this point. Once he reached the World's Core, would he gain control of the solar system? After all, wasn't the World's Core made from the will of all the planets in the Star System? 

If that's the case and Amon does get some sort of passive 'Domain', like in «Room», then the planet will be his base. Which means he needs an environment with no good problems to work in.

So, in the end, all of these decisions were at World Core. His theory is very fuzzy and lacking, he knows. That was why he was also preparing to go and use the planet as a life supply if needed. But all will be decided after obtaining the core of the world, which.

Moving on from him, Sins also lived a more luxurious life than before.

Among the seven, Wyper has challenged Amon several times in the past 10 months.

He always loses, of course. And slowly, but surely, his self-esteem fell lower.

He again thinks it's time to get a girl for himself, but Conis has died in a Skypiea attack. So he didn't think of anyone. Until—dia meets Princess Moon-5.

He did not look human, despite his humanoid form. His skin was pure white and shiny, shining and looking as if it would shatter upon contact. Her hair, her eyebrows, and even her eyelashes were also shiny white. 

Wyper finds a strange charm within him, which only intensifies when he witnesses his powers in battle. After all, he liked strong women.

Moreover, after finding out Amon had not touched the girl yet, he felt comfortable and tried to approach her.

Which didn't work.

Apparently, the girl is Amon's fangirl and she calls it 'love at first sight'. If it wasn't for her mother stopping her, she would have been in Amon's bed a long time ago.

“Ck, tsk. Women today.”

Then again, now that Wyper knows there are more races than humans in this universe, he knows he'll get his chance someday. So he stopped trying to get a girl and focused on training again.

“ Haiyah.. ”.

Isa let out a deep breath as he sat on the bench beside Amon on the roof of the recently built 'Shandora.

“What's up, aunty?” Amon turned his head away from the book he was reading, from the cover it seemed to be a book about the martial arts Long Legs and Long Sleeves. “Is the view unpleasant from here?”

The view is amazing, actually. The Red Line is 10 kilometers high from sea level, and so are most of the Sky Islands, which are above most of the clouds. That is, sitting on the roof of the Palace made above the Redline, Amon and Isa felt like sitting in heaven because of the clouds that surrounded them.

At the same time, Germa Kingdom and New Thriller Bark are also visible from here, so people don't feel alone and stranded either.

“No, not that,” replied Isa. The view is beautiful. "I'm worried about something."

"And that's…?" ask Amon.

He could, if he wanted to, read his mind. But it's not gonna be a fun conversation, is it? After all, he could guess what he was going to say.

“Are you worried about Wyper? I'm sure he'll find someone. I remember the people Moon-6 had a lot of respect for Wyper, he was like an idol there.” The Moon-6 people had the Fire Ability, so they knew how strong the Wyper flame was more than most people. “There are some good girls there. Only when she decides, honestly. He's not a kid after all. He can decide by himself.”

"Yes you're right. I think Wyper will find his soulmate as well someday.” Isa sighed deeply once again. 

“...” Amon flashes at him. "You know, I don't read your mind, but if you keep doing this, I might."

Isha shrugged her shoulders. “Hey, come on, you're the one who plays mind games with old people at world level, yet you don't understand what I'm trying to say? I'm talking about Aisa!”

"...Oh," Amon blinked.

"I understand now." he nodded. "Of course, as my youngest sister, she deserves the best. But until the 'best' came, he could keep training. After all, we have plenty of time on our hands."

"That's true..." Isa looks serious now. "I won't be there for her forever. While he'll go into space and spend centuries out there, I'll be long gone."

"Long Life Formula" has been completed. Amon needed a lot of work and money to repair the Seraph, but it was not impossible. He wasn't even at his best now, after two years, but he managed to regain most of his lost data with the help of the Potato Fruit, which he made to eat.

So the research on Ancient Giants and Ordinary Giants continued easily. Currently, she, Judge, and Vegapunk— who kidnapped Amon a year ago—have found a way to create a formula that allows humans to live longer than the Ancient Giant, which is about 600 to 700 years.

Sins will soon undergo the necessary surgeries, one at a time along with several other important people that Amon needs. Like Vivi, the Royal Family of Germa, the leader of countless Wingless Valkyrie factions, and lastly, hundreds of Ammonite scientists (who became part of Vegapunk and Karna).

Vivi will rule this world for him when he's not around. He plans to make this star system his base of operations, so he will stay on the planet for most of the time. But of course, there would be times when he would have to be outside for years, or decades even since he wasn't delusional enough to conquer the universe in a few months. In those days, Vivi will be watching. 

Amon would change it if needed. Like, if she grows up too 'wise' because of old age.

The other people mentioned also had the same reason. They will rule the world under him, taking the burden of work from his own shoulders. It would be annoying to keep changing them every few decades, so it's okay if they live a little longer than others.

Amon was doubtful about some other people he had not mentioned here. Like Nico Robin. 

 Either way, that's not the point. The essence of this is that Isa will die while Aisa, as one of the Sins, lives a long life.

Isa has rejected Amon's offer to undergo surgery. She, along with her husband, is said to be content with their current life and does not need an extraordinary longevity.

Amon agreed to it. He'll be a little down for a while, but. He could change his mind whenever he wanted, so that was also a problem. Either way, Amon could understand what he meant.

When he left, who would take care of Aisa?

Amon sighed while scratching his chin.

"So.. You want me to take him?"

"Yes s!" isa crying. "As a mother, I certainly want the best husband for my dear daughter. In this whole world, who's the best?"

Amon breathed.

"Look! Okay, you can turn it down if you want, but please consider that" Isa said. "I would have offered this before, but I don't think you see your sister like that. But now .... You have a relationship with Raki, I know that's not the case. So," he clenched his palms together. . "Un, please take care of Aisa while I'm gone."

Amon opened his lips .. before sighing. He took her into a hug. "Don't beg me like that, aunt. Not that you're asking me to take out the trash."

Aisa is beautiful because of the remastered Angel Formula that every Skypiean took a few years ago. It's not like he was asked to marry an ugly woman.

"Just ..." Amon shook his head. "No, it's okay."

...He couldn't tell his aunt that he wouldn't love her, at all.

"Thank you."

Isa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although .." he raised his head again. "Grandchild when?"

"No."

Amon looked back at his books.

—★—

Nearly a month is left until Raki's mission time runs out.

His mission was to obtain the title of the Strongest Swordsman in the World.

...Although he hoped that it would be changed to 'Swordswoman' when the time came.

But for one of those, he must defeat the man known as Hawkeye Mihawk.

He's really trying to do that now.

Mihawk and Raki exchanged their blows, slashes, and sword blows.

Raki refuses to use the power of her demonic fruit, even though her Zoan has already given her a physical boost, on top of her genetically enhanced body.

The devastated terrain where they fought was the castle of Mihawk, which had been destroyed in his fight against Zoro a few minutes ago.

That's what Mihawk has been doing for the past year. Every time Raki comes to challenge him, he puts the Zoro man between them, telling him to fight the man. 

That stubborn green head sucks. But it only took a few seconds to take him out for the first time. Then he went to Mihawk, but at that time, he was the one who was defeated in a matter of seconds.

Since then, he had come to this place over a hundred times. Zoro becomes more annoying than ever as one of the two remaining Crew Partners, Sanji, also dies.

He lasted longer now, almost matching him in swordsmanship. That's bullshit. How could he catch up to her from that weak and pitiful level in less than a year?!

Although the same could be said for him as well.

Fighting now, as Raki dodged the slash from Mihawk's long sword, Raki realized that he himself had gone a long way.

Obviously nothing compared to Zoro's growth, but since the last few trials, he realized how close he was to defeating Mihawk.

Last time, he took three fingers. So the movement is a bit awkward. It was surprising how he could still match her like that. But guess what that was why he was viewed as the Strongest Sword Science.

Hawkeye Mihawk is a Whitebeard for swordsmen in this world.

"Dead!"

The two Supreme Class Raki swords, which were transformed into the shape of two Katanas, lead to Mihawk's neck.

Mihawk blocked the two with his sword, but Raki pulled one of his swords from below and attacked from the side.

Mihawk blocked it again with his sword, while still blocking the first one.

Raki used that moment to use his wings to attack him. The sharp feathers on the tip of his wings were covered in armament, just as he slashed them towards Mihawk.

Mihawk must draw his sword to block the incoming attack, only to leave a gap for Raki to exploit.

He landed a slash on the side of his ribs, receiving a groan from the man. 

Mihawk took a step back and tried to counterattack, but Raki's blade stopped his sword and his wings came back to attack.

Roronoa Zoro gasped for breath as he watched the fight with his back leaning against the concrete wall.

Raki stopped attacking for a moment and noticed Mihawk's movements. "You're weaker than last time ..."

“Heh.” Hawkeye Mihawk grinned. "Or you're just stronger."

Mihawk noticed his golden eyes looming over him as he understood, maybe today was his day, he would pass his title.
